pydotfiles | Extendable Configuration-based Python Dotfile Manager

pydotfiles is an extendable and configurable dotfile manager written in python.

Installation

[RECOMMENDED] Opinionated Bootstrap

The following one-liner will bootstrap the system to an opinionated setup, in particular setting up pyenv for you if you don't have it yet, and setting up a new laptop-wide global python environment for day-to-day use.

Basically, if there's a completely new computer, run this:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonYao/pydotfiles/master/start-opinionated | bash -s {CONFIGURATION_REPO_GIT_LINK}
# e.g.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonYao/pydotfiles/master/start-opinionated | bash -s https://github.com/JasonYao/dotfiles.git

Non-Opinionated Bootstrap

The following one-liner won't assume the python environment that you're installing this to, and just install itself with pip.

Basically, if your computer already has the required python version/environments, run this:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonYao/pydotfiles/master/start-base | bash -s {CONFIGURATION_REPO_GIT_LINK}
# e.g.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonYao/pydotfiles/master/start-base | bash -s https://github.com/JasonYao/dotfiles.git

Usage

• To toggle show/hiding of iTerm 2: ⌘ + ↓

• To update + upgrade the dotfiles:

dotfiles upgrade

• To uninstall the dotfiles:

dotfiles uninstall
